Absentee Owners / Second Home Seller Letter

Fourteen percent of all home sales this year came from one group: owners who don’t live in the property they’re selling. (Source: NAR)

Second homes. Absentee owners. Landlords dealing with repairs, vacancies, and shifting returns.

They may not be raising their hands, but many are re‑evaluating what they own and why.

This campaign is built to reach them where they are, before they make their next move.Your job? Put it in play and start turning this segment into your next source of listings.

The Anti-Hype Letter

In a shifting market, fear is cheap (and everywhere).

You can’t scroll YouTube without someone predicting the “big crash” or shouting “sell now before it’s too late.”

But here’s the thing: the data says otherwise. Decades of housing history show that every downturn recovers.

Which means panic‑selling is the fastest way to turn a temporary dip into a permanent loss.

That’s why this letter takes the opposite approach. Instead of peddling fear, it positions you as the steady, long‑view professional who helps people sell for the right reasons: fit, timing, lifestyle.

It’s the kind of message that builds trust when others are burning it.Send it monthly to your farm and watch your share of the market grow when confidence is in short supply.

Coming Soon: Skip the Waitlist

Scarcity sells, especially in real estate.

Tell someone they can’t have something, and suddenly it’s all they can think about.

That’s the psychology behind this campaign. It opens with a line most agents would never dare send: “I really shouldn’t share this listing with you…”

From there, it trades in curiosity, not information. No price. No exact address. Just a handful of vivid details, a whisper of exclusivity, and a simple CTA: text “VIP” to learn more.

This isn’t about announcing a listing, it’s about creating demand before it hits the market.Send it, and you’re not just marketing a home. You’re making it feel like an opportunity buyers can’t afford to miss.

IG Poll: A deal that’s hard to find in [City]

You already know the power of Deal of the Week. This version is built for Stories.

We start with the hook, then layer in the details, then highlight the features that make this one stand out. Only after the curiosity builds do you invite them to raise their hand. In recent tests, that structure alone delivered 6x more engagement.

The hook itself? We pulled it from one of the 1,200 top‑performing Instagram posts we track at Listing Leads, and built the rest so you can execute fast.

Not sure which listing to feature?

Start here:

  • Filter for new listings (within the last 7 days)
  • Focus on your target price point
  • Stay in your ideal neighborhood or farm area

That should give you a pool of 50–70 listings.

From there, zero in on the one with the highest saves or views—that’s the listing with heat behind it.

Use this format to test urgency, stay visible with buyers, and stay top of mind.

IG Poll: Stuck?

The data says it all: many buyers aren’t stuck because they’ve lost interest—they’re stuck because they’re not sure what to do next.

Cotality’s latest research found that only 7% described the buying process as straightforward. The rest hit moments of doubt, kept questions to themselves, and moved forward without full clarity. Sometimes they didn’t know who to ask. Sometimes they felt they should already know.

That’s why this poll works. It gives buyers a low‑pressure way to say, “Yep, I’m unsure.” And once they do, you have an open door to guide them—turning uncertainty into momentum, and curiosity into conversations.

Deal of the Week Social

We’ve been testing a lot of ways to bring the Deal of the Week strategy to Stories—and this one’s a winner.

It’s simple. Swipeable. And engineered to build momentum before the CTA hits.

Instead of leading with a poll (which can feel rushed), we let the story unfold over 3 slides—hook → details → standout features—then drop the poll. That structure alone gave us 6x more engagement in recent tests.

The best part? This is one of those rare story templates that works whether you're showing your face or not. You can record a walkthrough, use listing photos, or keep it text-only and still make it feel personal and high-value.

We pulled the hook from one of the 1,200 top-performing Instagram creators we track at Listing Leads—and built the rest to help you execute fast.

Use it to spotlight hidden gems, test urgency-driven content, or just stay top of mind with serious buyers.

IG Reel: The secret to getting a lowball offer accepted

This is the kind of content buyers actually save.

It answers a question they’re already thinking about—“Can I make a low offer?”—and gives them a smart, helpful framework for when and how that works.

The beauty of this Reel? You don’t even need to be on camera.
The caption does the heavy lifting, walking through timing, terms, and tone—while the Reel itself can be as simple as a text-based hook or B-roll with overlay.

We know listings are sitting on the market longer right now, so we thought this might be a good moment to meet the market with a message like this. It’s timely, relevant—and likely to resonate.

“I wanted to buy a home this year but about to give up because…”

After analyzing thousands of real estate creators, we’ve noticed a trend: the highest-engagement polls are often the most casual. They feel like a text from a friend, not a marketing post. That’s exactly what this story is designed to do.

Starting with “Debated not posting this…” immediately disarms your audience. It signals vulnerability and curiosity—two powerful triggers that drive replies, votes, and DMs. Pair that with a low-maintenance design and a simple poll format, and you’ve got a high-impact story that feels spontaneous but is strategically built for engagement.

Use this poll to re-engage buyers who may be silently struggling or considering stepping out of the market. It opens the door to honest conversations—and gives you a soft way to reintroduce helpful guidance.

[Your City] Propaganda I Am Absolutely Falling For

This Reel taps into a trend that’s everywhere right now (like here) — and for good reason.

It’s not just funny. It’s tribal. It’s us vs. them, but in the most charming, slightly unhinged, deeply relatable way.

“[Your City] Propaganda I Am Absolutely Falling For” is your chance to lovingly call out the oddly specific, wildly inaccurate, and completely accepted delusions your city lives by.

Think: overpriced habits, generational conditioning, chaotic seasonal rituals — all delivered like a late-night group chat that got out of hand (in the best way).

Why it works:

  • Builds instant connection with your local audience
  • Makes people laugh and feel seen
  • Reinforces that you're not just a local expert — you’re one of them

And best of all? It’s ridiculously easy to make. Swap in your city, riff on 15 local one-liners, hit post, and watch the comments roll in: “ALL OF THE ABOVE ❤️” “Felt way too seen 😭” “Okay but why is this actually true?”

Some will laugh, some will argue, and some will start adding their own. That’s when you know it’s working.

Every seller we work with has second thoughts right before we list. Here’s why →

We hear it all the time from top agents: "The marketing was so good, my sellers joked they didn’t want to move anymore."

That insight sparked this post.

We turned it into a carousel with a hook that sellers (and future clients) can’t ignore:

“Every seller we work with has second thoughts right before we list.”

Because this is your moment to show the sweat—to spotlight the prep, the polish, the vision-building that happens before a home ever hits the market.

This carousel helps you:

  • Show off your behind-the-scenes process
  • Explain why marketing matters
  • Make a confident call to action to DM when it’s time to sell

Smart. Emotional. Sharable.That’s the kind of marketing that sells homes and builds your brand.

Just Listed: High-Impact Improvements

Most Just Listed letters are forgettable. This one isn’t.

Because it doesn’t just announce a listing,it answers the one question every homeowner actually cares about: “Why should I care?”

This campaign leads with value: It highlights the specific, strategic improvements you made to prep the home, giving neighbors real ideas they can apply to their own property, whether they’re selling now or two years from now.

It does three things at once:
✔ Shows the caliber of work you do behind the scenes
✔ Educates homeowners on what buyers in their neighborhood really care about
✔ Keeps you top-of-mind as the expert who understands how to market a home, not just list one

It’s not just a listing announcement. It’s a positioning play.

How to avoid losing $23,000 if you sell your home in 2025

Right now, the typical homeowner wants $39K more than buyers are willing to pay. And too many agents are losing the conversation before it even starts, because they’re not showing the cost of a bad plan in real terms.

That’s what this campaign is built to do.

It takes sellers out of “let’s test the market” mode and shows them, clearly and calmly, how that mindset leads to a $23,000 mistake they never saw coming. Use this letter to reframe what smart pricing actually means in today’s market.

We based the $23K on a $500,000 home, factoring in two to three months of mortgage, taxes, insurance, and utilities. You can adjust the number to better reflect average home prices in your market.

Name Your Price Email

This campaign has generated millions of dollars in listing appointments. It's the incredibly popular Name Your Price campaign.

Here's a pro-tip: This tactic was originally designed to be an email campaign but really smart agents are leveraging it as a direct mail piece as well. 

When an idea works, extend it to other channels. 

Always double down on your winners.

Buyer Reactivation Text

When buyers re-enter the market, it usually starts with curiosity.

Not bold moves—just a sense that the timing might be better. 

This text leans into that energy with a useful offer at the right moment.

Buyer Budget Text

Even a small rate dip can reset the conversation.

Not just because affordability improves—but because buyers start to feel the difference. According to Redfin, a recent drop from 7.08% to 6.67% gave buyers with a $3K/month budget an extra $16,000 in purchasing power. That subtle shift can be enough to re-engage someone who’s been sitting on the sidelines.

This text uses a light touch to invite that kind of buyer back into the dialogue.
